What I'arontg Fear.
Many persons—especially parents —
object to many quack nostrums as likely
to engender or encourage a love for strong
drink. Tney are right. Better die of
disease than drunkenness. The use of
Parker’s Tonic does not involve this
danger. It only builds up the system,
curing all ailments of the stomach, liver
and kidneys, but it stimulates without
intoxicating and absolutely cures the ap
petite for liquor.

Dangerous Bowel Bisorders.
Now that bowel disorders, such as
cholera, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, loose
ness, pains in the bowels, etc., are prev
oleut all over the country, all should pre
pare for sudden emergencies. “Mans
field's Mississippi Diarrl <»i Cordial” is
the standard remedy. It has stood the
test by untold thousands for upwards of
thirty years, and has never failed in a
single instance. Every steamer plying
the "Father of Waters” carries it, and
relies upon it exclusively for the cure of
bowel disorders. One dose often alters
the secretions, and cures, and ajfew dises
never fail. Have it handy! It is safe,
reliable, and the best remedy of the kind
in the world. Sold by all druggists.

It may be of interest to some of the
road contractors to k.iow that the County
Treasurer has not received a dollar in
cash of the ad valorc.n or per capita tax
for the year 1884. He has never paid a

had nothing to pay with. Some of the
order* have been paid, but the money
did not pass through bis hands, as it
should have done. We mention this in
justice to the treasurer, a* some parties
are laboring under a mistake, thinking
that he has paid some of the orders, and
will not pay others.

WHEN WE ALL LIVED TOGETHER.
Hew often memory dwells upon
The days that are departed.
When we in love together iret.
So fresh and simple-hearted!
O, happy, happy summer time!
O. blissful golden weather!
How bright and beautiful was earth
When we all lived together!
I see the very corner where
Dear grandmother is sitting.
In kerchief, cap and spectacles,
So busy with her knitting;
I even seem to hear her voice
Our merry tumult chiding;
As from behind her chair we caught
The urchin who was hiding.
And when at meal-time, eagerly
We hurried to the table,
’Twas hard the laughter to suppress,
Or hush the merry Babel;
And if one pulled a sober face,
A better impulse showing.
Why, even that was quite enough
To keep the others going.
And mother, dear, though dignified,
Was never melancholy;
And father war so much a boy,
Himself so kind and jolly, *
That ’twos no wander we broke loose
From every gloomy tether.
And had a right good jovial time
When we were all together.
The wintry days were full of sport.
The evenings bright and charmful;
The books we lead, the games we played,
Had in them nothing harmful;
A healthy spirit tilled the house.
And Peace, with folded pinion.
Made her abode within the walls
Where Love had true dominion.
But o’er the threshold strangers trod,
Despite our protestations;
Ami then, ah me! what changes camel
What fatal separations!
New ties were formed, new homes were made
By those to whom was given
A taste of blissful joy on earth
Or perfect bliss in Heaven.
This is the self-same sky that stretched
Above those haunts rlysian.
The dear old home, that now is but
A memory and a vision;
Yet us our hearts recall the past,
We sigh, and wonder whether
The world is quite so fair as ’twas
When we all lived together.

ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Are you disturbed at night and broken
of your rest by a sick child suffering and
crying with pain of cutting teeth? If so,
send at once and rot a bottle of Mrs.
Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children
Teething. Its value is incalculable. It
will relieve the poor sufferer immediately.
Depend upon it, mothers, there is no
mistake about it. It cures dysentery
and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach and
bowels, cures wind colio, softens the
gums, reduces inflammation, and gives
tone and energy to the whole system.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for
Children Teething is pleasant to the
taste, and is the prescription ot one of
the oldest and best female nurses and
physicians in the United States, and is
for sale by all druggists throughout the
world. Price 25 cents a bottle.
The Story of a Kobuwt Boy.
Willie White, a boy of seven years, has
been afflicted with scrofula ever since he
was three months old. His scalp was last
year almost a mass of sores. Ono of his
eyes was permanently injured, and his
jaw running in huge sores. In Septem
ber last he commenced to take Swift's
Specific under my direction. To-day he
is a fat, squabby, robust boy. His jaw is
well and his bead is covered with a fine
coat of hair. There is a little dryness
about the scalp. This is tho only sign
of the terrible disease left. His mother
desires me to thank tho proprietors of
Swift's Specific very heartily, and says
she is so grateful that words cannot ex
press it. This is a remarkable cure.

I have suffered for 30 year* with scrof
ula, and been plagued with erysipelas of

friends hardly know me. It is a wonder

boy, Willie White, to perfect health.

Eczema of 17 Years Standing Cured.
I sufie re 1 intense agony from eczema
on my hands and arms for seventeen
years. At times was unable to use them
even to dress myself. During the time I
tried every known remedy without bene
fit. Six weeks ago I began using Swift’s
Specific, and have thus far taken seven
bottles. To-day there is hardly a trace
or mark of any kind visible, and during
this period I have taken no other medi
cine cr used any externa] application
whatever, so that my cure is entirely due
to Swift’s Specific. March 21, 1885.
